Well that leads to the question of which deity should I worry about offending with my 'sins'. As I'm sure you are aware, certain behaviors and actions are permitted by some religions and not others. For example, the qur'an outlaws gambling, but the bible does not. which religions' view of sin should i be following? or should i just follow all of them to be safe?
Jews, Christians, & Muslims all believe in the same Creator.

But that creator apparently set down different rules and concepts of which behaviors are permissible to each of these groups. For example, i would be committing a sin against the bible god by declaring that Jesus was not his son, etc. But at the same the same time, I would be sparing myself allah's wrath
Do you really think gay marriage would (significantly) reduce the number of gays having multiple sex partners?
H-m-m-m-m, let's see. Nope. It hasn't worked out that way for heterosexual marriage now, has it?
And by the way, one must also account for gender differences. Many decades of research shows that a male, whether he be gay or straight, is more likely to have multiple sex partners than a female, regardless of whether she is gay or straight.

The question is though, are you a sinner? According to all three religions, the answer is yes.
Well since I am not an adherent of any of those religions, their concepts of sin do not apply to me. Sin, by its very nature, is a religious concept. It refers to a breach of whatever code of conduct has been implemented by whatever religion a person follows.

That's very true. Many studies have concluded that human males are not genetically programmed for monogamy much like males of other mammilian species. That being said, we are culturally programmed (for the most part in the West anyway) for monogamy. In the old days, my people were polygamous, but adapted to the American cultural norm of monogamy during and after the reservation period.
Do you really think gay marriage would (significantly) reduce the number of gays having multiple sex partners? Aren't most gay couples co-habitating without the official paperwork?
I don't know for sure, but I would think so. If they like being gay-married and don't want to get gay-divorced and pay gay-alimony, then yeah, probably. Just like for the straight folks.
So why did the zombie wizard oppose it, again?

Just to be clear, so you're saying the zombie God is okay with spanking the monkey, right?

How is that possible? Each time a heterosexual male has sex, there is a female involved, so I would say that makes the numbers even.
